We mailed a 30 card order via the National Card Show special at $18/card in July 2022.

Our expectations on getting the cards back from PSA was six months.

Yet, after two months we received an email from PSA confirming, with a tracking number, the ordered was being mailed back!

PSA has now cleared their massive backlog?

Does this two month turn around time on an economy graded card indicate PSA has now cleared their massive backlog? I remember back in early 2021 when PSA had so many cards sent to them (some estimate 10 million), they stopped taking any new orders. Now, in August of 2022, over one year later, PSA is grading on average 30,000 cards per day, with a recent monthly grading total of 1 million graded cards in July 2022. The web site GEMRATE documents the PSA Grading Trends.

PSA emails grades of the cards before they are mailed back

I took a peak of four or five grades, smiled and thought I will wait to see the rest when the cards arrive.
